Big surprise for Astro Bot fans! Sony is offering a limited edition DualSense controller

Sony has released a new limited edition DualSense controller inspired by the Astro Bot series. This is a real treat for fans. And what does it look like? Judge for yourself.

The controller features distinctive blue accents on the knobs, buttons, and elements that hint at sci-fi aesthetics. It’s also nice to have a funny set of eyes on the touchpad.

The DualSense – Astro Bot Limited Edition will be available for purchase the day after the game’s release. Pre-sales will begin on August 9 in select European countries: Great Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Austria, and Portugal. Unfortunately, our country is not on the list, so anyone interested will have to import it themselves by purchasing it from one of the retailers. The price is $79.99 / €79.99 / £69.99.

The new Astro Bot game, which will debut on September 5, will take full advantage of the capabilities of the DualSense controller. Among other things, haptic vibrations will allow you to feel the different textures on which Astro moves (grass, sand, metal, water), and the Dual Speeder, a tool that allows you to fly between planets, will use motion control, adaptive triggers and haptic feedback.

The game will feature over 50 planets to explore, new upgrades, diverse enemies, secrets and characters inspired by the PlayStation universe.

Team Asobi, the creators of the game, are very excited about the new console. They encourage fans to share their opinions and look forward to players joining Astro on his first major adventure on PlayStation 5.
